- simple physics
- color scheme
- easy to play
- replayability
Improvements:
- white-noise static when switching to the analysis screen to match the display static
- some simple sounds to give player feedback of their actions
- pulling the elastic outside the screen continues to add thrust to the ball; my guess is that makes the experience different on mobile than on desktop/browser
- lots of room to all the usual cryptocurrency memes (e.g. "to the moon!")
Bugs:
- Didn't find any
Ok, to be serious, this game is awesome. The controls are so satisfying, landing trickshots feels amazing. The graphics are simple but lovely and the music keeps the action going perfectly. Also I somehow got really happy about gaining and losing money equally. I basically grinned the entire time I played this. Thanks for making this :D
Only thing I had trouble with initially was that the ball can be dragged off screen. Without dragging it off screen there isn't enough momentum generated to shoot it over. Great idea!
I was kind of confused about what I was supposed to be doing? Making as much money as I can or as little?
Also I don't know if this is a bug or not but you can still click the shop after the button disappears!
The take on the theme is very fun, the audio is well done and is a good match with the game mood ! I think there is some enhancement to do on the mechanics of ball throwing (I found that you can still control the ball after the first throw, I think you can elaborate that, before founding that, I had a ball stuck between the wall and the goal).
Congratulations for your entry !
I did mention in the tutorial that you can change the trajectory of the ball mid-air! But, it is easy to miss.
Thanks for playing!
